Carl Weathersby - New Release
New Release by Chicago Blues Hall of Famer Carl Weathersby!!! "Travelin Man"!!!! The reviews just keep coming about this epic project after 10 years...Heres what the industry has to say:
Carl Weathersby is a senior blues master who has been around too long to be as unnoticed as he is. Without slavish imitation, this track bears in full the fruits of Weathersby's apprenticeship with the great Albert King, whom the young Carl understudied years ago, absorbing the King's impeccable use of timing, and his command of the microtonal magic that only an authentic bluesman can summon up to bare his inner feelings. His vocals, too, demonstrate the years spent with the blues. They are strong and honest, as are the phrases that resound from those six strings that have been the core of this bluesman's life and work. The fear is that years from now people will wonder why he wasn't given more attention, why more blues fans didn't give him his due. Perhaps it is because the man himself is kind, unassuming, and modest. No crazy rumors, scandals, or vicious attitudes bring him to the surface, just the music--only the music. It is time the blues world took notice.

It's always good to have something new from Carl. He's always been one of my favorites.
I'm glad he is feeling better and getting out and about again.
These days I am a blues host on WNIJ-FM in DeKalb, IL.
I started at WNIJ-FM in January, 2018. Prior, I hosted Sunday Morning Blues on WKGL-FM in Rockford.
After a 6 year run, the show ended last November,2017 when corporate cut all blues programming.
I have been broadcasting the blues in the Rockford area since 1987.
I first met Carl many years ago when he came to Rockford as part of the Sons of Blues with Billy Branch.
I got see him back then at one of the first Blues of Fox festivals in Aurora, just him and his guitar, a small PA on the street.
It was almost a Maxwell Street moment. It was very cool.
Looking forward to hearing the whole new CD down the road.
Please keep me on the list for further new and adventures,
